Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs


I just bought 15 HTFs and will also be making about a dozen of Ozzie's homemade models.  While I will re-fresh myself with SR's placement tips, and I get that I will have to do some experimenting to tailor the HFT effect to MY listening room; are there any "Advanced HFT Placement Tips" some of you would like to share with us?  Something that might be overlooked by many of us?  Or maybe, just a good rule-of-thumb tip for someone just starting to use these?
The tips could be tips for bring out more highs, solidifying the bass response, placement hi vs low, in front of vs behind speakers, on side walls, at reflection points, behind the listener, on the ceiling above the equipment or above the listener, on the equipment.
Any ah-ha that you would like to share?  I would also be very interested in hearing from people using Magnapans.

Sabai, I’m giving serious consideration to bringing you on board as an associate shill since you have the obsessiveness and tenacity I look for. Keep up the good work. From what I can tell your real talent in this discussion is knocking off someone else’s ideas with a cheap imitations and blinding following others’ diagrams. All of the relevant ideas for Franck Tchang’s tiny little bowls are already in the public domain, thanks in large part to the diligence of the 2 PhDs from 6 Moons, as I’ve pointed out. Those relevant ideas just aren’t in YOUR domain, which probably explains why you react so predictably to "curve balls." 😀
geoffkait,

We are all happily shilling for you here. We love putting up with you -- which amounts to the same thing in the end. You mean you haven’t noticed? Lol.

Regarding "Your real talent ... ". Thank you for your compliment. Regarding "knocking off someone else’s ideas with cheap imitations ... ". In case you didn’t notice ... that’s what this thread and its sister thread are all about ... DIY and finding the best placements -- so we don’t have to spend $100 for each of your tiny original resonator bowls. Lol.

By the way, did you "knock off" yours -- and decide to charge $100 apiece to avoid the accusation they are cheap? Or were they simply the product of your own creative imagination and you’re doing everyone a favor by only charging $100 each for them? Lol.

Regarding "blindly following others’ diagrams ... " you must have seen my white cane in the corner of my Virtual System photo. This explains why I always follow the ideas of others blindly. Lol."

Regarding "All relevant ideas .. are already in the public domain ... " Well, well. You seem to be reading minds once again. How many times does this make it? This time it’s Franck Tchang’s mind that is the subject of your formidable psychic powers. But perhaps you might care to confirm this assertion with Franck himself -- in case you may be wrong. I know, I know. You’re never wrong. And you have no intention of contacting Franck Tchang. You might end up losing a bit of face -- or ending up with a bit of egg on it.

As I say, this is better than sit-com -- and provides the much needed social service of helping out a fellow member in need ... of new customers. Lol.

Keep it coming, geoffkait. You’re doing great.
Sabai, have you given any consideration to a nice long cold shower? 

All I need is a cold compress to keep my ribs from hurting so much.
